Of course it's impossible to keep going on like this.

When Qin Xiaoran and the others noticed something, the two of them quickly adjusted their state and did not reveal any obvious flaws when Qin Xiaoran walked over.

Bai Mo is an old fox. It was extremely unexpected that such embarrassment could make him feel awkward for three seconds. He had enough energy to return to normal within three seconds and would not let anyone discover his flaws.

Lin Li is very open-minded in her normal state and accepts all situations well, and this is certainly the case now.

Qin Xiaoran came over, held the door, glanced at the two of them, and asked, "Is it time to eat?"

Bai Mo nodded, "Yes, everyone in the family is back, and my third sister-in-law asked me to call you to eat."

Qin Xiaoran nodded, "Okay, I understand, we'll go there now."

Bai Mo brought up the topic and nodded. He glanced at Lin Li casually, then turned and left.

Qin Xiaoran went back and called everyone else to eat, leaving Lin Li standing alone at the door with a puzzled look on her face.

Was it her illusion? Why did she feel that Bai Mo looked at her specifically before leaving?

Is it...

Qin Xiaoran took a group of people to the restaurant, and almost everyone in the family was there.

The others took their seats as they were familiar with the place, while Qin Xiaoran took Lin Li to introduce the Huo family members whom she had never met before, and also introduced Lin Li to these people.

Uncle Huo and Mr. Huo were both calm and steady people. They just said hello to express their welcome and said nothing else.

Third Uncle Huo, Huo Nianguo and Huo Nianjun were more talkative and spoke a few more words to Lin Li. Lin Li also did not seem to be interested and started chatting with them.

As for Huo Nianping, the two had known each other for a long time and they just greeted each other without saying much.

After they finished greeting each other and chatting, Aunt Huo and Aunt Wang began to serve the dishes.

The Huo family is large, so their meals are usually quite sumptuous. In addition, it is the first month of the year and they are entertaining guests, so the meal is even more sumptuous.

Lin Li was very touched, and what touched her most was the attitude of the Huo family. The sumptuous dinner was secondary to her.

However, she was surprised to see that one third of the dishes on the table were her favorites. She immediately turned to look at Qin Xiaoran with moved eyes.

Only Qin Xiaoran knew that she liked to eat these dishes. Qin Xiaoran must have told the Huo family specifically, and the Huo family made these dishes with great care...

Qin Xiaoran saw Lin Li's moved eyes and smiled slightly helplessly.

She did tell Aunt Huo and Aunt Wang about Lin Li's favorite dishes. She had wanted to cook these dishes herself before, but Aunt Huo told her to accompany the guests and leave the cooking to them. She then mentioned a few dishes that Lin Li liked and asked Aunt Huo to pick out the ones with all the ingredients and cook three or five.

However, there were eight dishes that Lin Li liked on the table, which surprised her a little.

But it wasn't too surprising. Lin Li had a wide range of tastes, and most of the dishes she liked were also liked by other members of the Huo family. After comprehensive consideration, she made a few more dishes, which showed her attention to the guests and satisfied other people's appetites. It was naturally a good thing.

After Mr. Huo spoke, everyone started to eat dinner. Lin Li was quite moved and started to eat.

Lin Li enjoyed this meal very much. She ate so many of her favorite dishes and also discovered some new dishes that tasted great. So she ate a lot until she was full.

When others saw Lin Li eating so happily, they also became happy.

Except Bai Mo.

Bai Mo was unhappy.

The dishes that Lin Li discovered later that were delicious and ate ravenously were his favorites. With one more person competing for the food, he didn't enjoy his meal to its full potential.

This was another reason why he didn't like Lin Li.

Of course, he would not show such little emotion on his face, so the meal seemed to be a very enjoyable one for both the host and the guests.

Except Huo Nianping.

At family dinners like these that had no special meaning, Huo Nianping would usually simply ignore the thoughts of his family members, basically not caring about them, and even if he heard them he would pretend not to hear them, but there would sometimes be exceptions.

For example, when he hears some unexpected sounds.

For example, Bai Mo complained in his heart that he hated Lin Li because Lin Li was crazy about him, because Lin Li was not smart, because Lin Li laughed too loudly, and because Lin Li ate his favorite dishes...

Huo Nianping was speechless.

This is really strange. Bai Mo actually cares so much about a woman who is not dangerous, just because of these insignificant reasons?

He was a little dissatisfied with Lin Li at the beginning, but that was only because Lin Li always said bad things about him in her heart and always wanted to say bad things about him to Qin Xiaoran, so he was a little dissatisfied with Lin Li, but he didn't hate her.

And later, after he and Qin Xiaoran were together, he gradually understood Lin Li's feelings at the time. Knowing that Lin Li was doing it for Qin Xiaoran's good, he no longer cared about it.

Although the two of them were not good friends, for Qin Xiaoran's sake, they could still be considered ordinary friends.

As an ordinary friend, he couldn't bear to see Bai Mo thinking about Lin Li like this.

But this is a bit troublesome.

After dinner, everyone either went back to their own places or gathered in groups of three or four to chat.

Lin Li was talking to four little kids, and it was obvious that she liked them very much.

Bai Mo originally wanted to play with the four little kids for a while, but when he saw Lin Li there, he didn't go over.

At this time, Xu Lu was standing aside holding Zhao Zhao, and gave Bai Mo a meaningful look.

Although Bai Mo did not have any obvious reaction, there were several subtle moments from the moment he picked up Lin Li that day.

If it was just a tiny moment, she might think it was nothing like everyone else and just make up her own excuses to explain it away. But if it was more than just a tiny moment, then in her opinion it was definitely not something that could be easily explained away by coincidence.

Something is not right between Bai Mo and Lin Li.

She recalled what happened that day and what Qin Xiaoran had said to her before. She felt that Bai Mo and Lin Li should not have known each other before, and Bai Mo should not have even heard of Lin Li.

In this way, it's okay that Lin Li is weird towards Bai Mo, but Bai Mo shouldn't feel anything special towards Lin Li.

But this is where the problem lies. She observed the subtle moments between Bai Mo and Lin Li, and it wasn't just Lin Li who was strange. Bai Mo's reaction was also strange.

She could see that Lin Li had a crush on Bai Mo. It was so obvious. Not only her, Bai Mo and Qin Xiaoran must have seen it too, but they didn't show it.

Could it be that Bai Mo behaved strangely because Lin Li liked him?

But it shouldn't.

She was sure that Bai Mo would not like Lin Li, so Bai Mo would not act strangely because Lin Li liked him. He was fully capable of handling this matter with ease.

But Bai Mo became weird because of this...

Could it be...

A bold guess came to her mind.
